Valorant's Vanguard anti-cheat triggering VAC?
Been hearing a lot of mumbo jumbo about Riot's anti-cheat for the past couple days. I like to play a lot of arena FPS games so I also play Valorant from time to time.

Is it possible that this Vanguard anti-cheat could trigger a VAC ban if it's running while I am playing CSGO? Were there any posts about this?

I doubt it. People want an excuse for being banned because they think they can be unbanned after cheating

Vac is searching for cheats INJECTED into your game, not malicious programs in your computer. Does no one know how Vac works?

Higly unlikely. Exetremely unlikely. But you gotta rememebr one thing. Whatever you install on your computer - in the end you will be responsible for it, if something goes wrong.

i mean it shouldnt really do anything to cs go thats for sure

vac ban only uses injectors that the vac team have confirmed as cheats as well it was common that there was a few fals positives before but now vac bans are so worked on that its nearly imposible to get a vac ban unless you use some real obscure stuff that you run when playing cs go...like most things wont trigger a vac ban even if it is a cheat unless its an old paste thats outdated or script that is copy pasted from other vac detected cheats

its hard to say what could count as a false posetive but i am fairly sure that the vac team knows what valorant anti cheat does

I think it does. When I was trying to play the game, I got vac couldn't verify your session error, I figured out that when I exit vanguard, I don't get that error so I think Vanguard triggers vac.

That's because of the new anti cheat.

I got vac banned about a month ago for no reason. I did not cheat and no one else was on my computer hacking. Told off valve and what do you know they unbanned me

A month ago was a VAC wave with a fail rate sllicy higher than usuall...around 2k unbanned for 60k banned.
